The guest list for the most talked about wedding of the summer is rumored to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 to 500 people, but when the father of the bride is a former President and her mother is Secretary of State, it’s safe to say that list had to be whittled down a bit.

We already know one very prominent guest who will reportedly not be there, and that’s President Barack Obama. (But the President seems to understand. He told the hosts of “The View" Thursday, “I’m letting you know now: Y’all probably will not be invited to Sasha or Malia’s wedding, either.”)

Joining Obama on the uninvited list is John Catsimatidis, owner of Red Apple and Gristedes supermarkets who, according to the New York Times, has raised millions for the Clintons.

While Catsimatidis said he hoped to be invited, he pretty much figured out he didn’t make the cut when, two weeks away from the event, he still hadn’t received an invitation.

Over at the New York Daily News, Norton Mezvinsky, the supposed lone uncle of Clinton’s soon-to-be-husband, Marc Mezvinsky, told the paper that he, too, has been left off the guest list.

A rep for Al and Tipper Gore reportedly piped up to say in a statement that the recently separated couple also won’t be at the wedding, but it isn’t clear whether or not they were invited.

Money is not 'out of reach' with politicians. After Bill "screwed up" (no pun intended), they were said to be broke, and then, "'VALAH!", a MULTI MILLION DOLLAR HOME APPEARED AS THEIR NEW RESIDENT! Being BROKE has different meanings I guess for people like the Clintons, lo!

I'm happy that Chelsea found a "love", and I hope that with all his and her family and personal issues, they change the tide, and have a peaceful honest life, with LOVE for each other and for others. If they choose to have 400 or 500 wedding guests, the money that her parents spend on the wedding, will come back from the guests (especially their chosen guests I'm sure) into the lives of the two newlyweds.....So what comes around, goes around! Chelsea should have : homes, boats, cars, and all the extras,,,,,,,,,paid for initially by the wedding costs, I'm sure.....with the love of her guests. She deserves a chance of a low stress, financial non-worry life, after what all she's been through! It's obvious to me, that I sure wouldn't want to be the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, especially an "only". I wish the whole family love, peace, integrity, honesty, and stability.

It was a wise decision by President Obama not to attend. With those pedophiles, tax evaders and all other disgraceful individuals who are regular associates of the Clintons, who knows on whom anyone could accidentally bump into at the wedding?
And Bill really has wasted his sperms spilling them on all the places instead of using them to make one nice product which is at least interesting to look at!!! Is it going to be the ugliest American bride?

I can't believe they are spending so much money on this wedding. But whatevs. She is a nobody and they will be divorced in less than 5 years. Mark it on your calendars. Chelsea, if you are reading this stop kidding yourself and save us the trouble of reading it on CNN that it didn't work out and just bail now.

Darn, Sorry Chelesa but I got mine and I won't be able to attend.
But good news. I gave it to Kanye West. He said he would be there and would probably bring a date. He said he hoped it would be alright to bring Roseanne Barr.
He also said that if he couldn't make it he would give the invite to Flava Flav.

Yo, Chelsea Clinton is marrying a Russian Jewish Bolsheviek wallstreet exec.. Former President Clinton must be proud that his daughter is marrying a communist who is associated with toppling the Russian monarchy. So, I guess that means the Clinton's are communists? GO USA. I find this appalling as I have had relatives die from both sides of the atlantic during WWI and WWII and now a former President's daughter is marrying a communist. What about Vietnam and Koriea Chelsea? That's right polilticians just send innocent people to war and then marry the enemy. Shameful!!

hey kid, you being very pretty is your opinion. i'm pretty sure that others might disagree.as far as chelsea,i don't see anything wrong with her.she's just a young girl that wants to be happy and get married after all that shes been through. she did'nt want to shack up, not that there is anything wrong with it.as for you, i agree with you.you're a kid and a very modest one too.

Watch out there's a whole slew of KKK-like citiziens (aka 'fringes') on this site - (and be careful; they hide behind religion) - they're incapable of one rational thought; in fact, they don't even think - EVIL - JEALOUS - NEGATIVE - oh and they drive American-made SUV's and pick up trucks!! Watch out America and be very afraid....
Congratulations to Chelsea and Marc; have a beautiful wedding; the weather will be picture perfect.....

You got to put the pipe down before you speak, sweetheart. Are you suggesting for us not to buy American (given if it is the best product). How dare you and I hope to the highest form you never have to rely on this great country for ANYTHING. Or you are being sarcastic and in that case it is cute, but label it as such next time..

Best of wishes Chels and Marc. I hope you have a wonderful life together. I hope you don't have time to read all the crap printed by some of these Clingons and Cyclopses. My wedding dress cost me all of $14.00 and my marriage has lasted 39 years. So it isn't how much you spend on the wedding, it's how much you are willing to give each other. Love to you both.

Not the fact that she is less than attractive, or her parents are far less than perfect in their marriage. My quip, is the media and how they are trying to equate this wedding to something close to royalty. Sorry ppl., Chelsea is an unfortunate political pond for her mommy and daddy to bounce off of. FYI...her wedding is costing more than Tom and Kattie's!! Besides the wedding will be no fun with out some break dancing by Biden or Barry!

I wish that entire family would move to Switzerland and never come back. All they are is greedy cheating liars and have their sights on the bottom dollar $$$$$ and could care less about you – never did, never will.

I am from Canada & I can't believe what people are posting for Chelsea & Mark. It is insane and rude for some of these comments and these comments should be removed. I wish them the best of luck. Chelsea is adorable, just look at her beautiful eyes. This is my cue If they have the money and want to spend it on their daughter so be it there is nothing that you or anyone for that matter can do anything about. You hear all the bad things about the clintons from years ago, but they do a lot of charity work and yes they give their money away. Thanks Frenchie

This is a typical tabloid news. I was very surprised to see it as prime news on CNN. All the details, absolutely irrelevant for a serious news channel. Tons of news much more worth airing. Is that a matter of pleasing the public for advertisers?

Why do people always judge others by their looks? I wonder what some of these idiots look like. Chelsea is a beautiful woman inside and out. Her parents, however messed up they were, have done a wonderful job in raising such a well rounded young lady. They should be proud. Good Luck to Chelsea and Marc. Always keep God in your life and marriage.

Good Luck Chelsea and Marc! Remember this day forever and most of all remember your committed made to each other and before God! Include Him in your lives together from this day forward, for better or worse and all will be well. To Bill and Hillary, Congratulations! You have both raised a fine young woman through better and worse. Your happiness is only beginning, wait till the grandchildren start arriving. There is a demension to love that you are yet to experience. God Speed and Happiness to all!!

Marriage is a celebration of love in its proper contest and therefore people shouldn't infuse politics into this wedding. Most of the comments I have read so far have political undertone which is rather unfortunate. Chelsea is a remarkable person and so is her husband to be, so stop castigating them in this unfriendly media where the deliquents of Lindsay is cherished...what has this culture become? One thing is for sure; this marriage will be a successful one relatively compare to most hollywood marriages. So to the media, give Chelsea a break and put politics/politricks aside

Anyone with a limited tolerance for ugliness will stay far, far away from that wedding. That's why air travel was suspended. The FAA was afraid that pilots could go blind or sue the company for a job-inflicted chronic erectile dysfunction.

All this money being spent for what purpose? A wedding day should be about 2 people in front of a preacher stating they will love each other until death do them part – nothing more. The money could be better spent on other things – including charity. And that doesn't just go for Chelsea's wedding but anyone who spends an exorbitant amount saying I do.

This is AMERICA. People give to charity becuse they choose to. The Clinton's have donated millions to charity so if they choose to spend THEIR money on a big wedding so be it. This for all of you who do not understand how the economy works is generating a lot of revenue for this town as well as all the suppliers (small business owners) and the people who work for the caters,florist, photo, and wedding planner. Chelse you will make one beautiful bride and best of wishes. ENJOY your day

CNN.. I read over at the People's Magazine site yesterday (maybe day before that) that President Obama and his Wife *WERE* invited to the wedding, however *they* declined the invitation due to security issues and paparazi.
Might you want to get your story straight next time? Just sayin'....

I am Happy for Chelsea wedding i pray for her marriage to go well.The President is not all bothered by not going at all he has way to many left overs he has to deal with than being worried about going to some Wedding.Best of Luck Chelsea.

Who really cares??? First it is Brittany, then Paris, then Lindsay, and now this one. One thing the $3 to $5 Million price tag really shows is how out of touch Clinton's and the democrats really are with the needs of real everyday people.

If they have that much money, what do you suggest - they keep it in a bank account? Or should they buy lots of stock options and financial derivatives?

I think it is ridiculous that anyone even HAS $1 million, but they have it and want to spend it.

It is also interesting that you compared her to three women who have had serious troubles with alcohol and/or DUI's and/or run-ins with the law. Chelsea has done none of that (though Bush's daughters have). What makes you lump them all together?

Except for a few..... and very few positive comments (for which I would like to thank those decent people who wrote them).....I want to say I am throughly ashamed of the rude and vulgar comments made regarding Chelsea Clinton's upcoming wedding..... remember people who are discourteous and make outrageous and malicious comments deliberately, are very ugly characters intrinsically. Especially when they don't know the person personally.....they are incredibly destructive, poisonous, and prefer the path of ruin. Take a good look at yourselves in the mirror and realize you have a mental impairment and have always been infused with "hate" plus the words praise and approval have NEVER been in your vocabulary. A PERSON WHO MARRIES ANY ONE OF YOU WILL RUE THE DAY!

Many people who post mean or rude comments dislike her simply because of her parents. They know nothing about her except her lineage, but these posters so despised the Clintons that they hate her for that reason alone.

It is very biblical, to hate the child for the actions of the parents. It is imbecilic, but it is very biblical.

The other people who post awful things do so because they are immature and think it is funny to be rude to other people. And on the web, you can be as rude as you like and there is no one telling you to behave. So they are probably acting out against their own parents...

Wow. Really? You get THIS upset by some rude posters? Yeah, they're rude, uninformed, inarticulate, judgmental. But come on already. They're just talkin' trash on a CNN blog. It's not like they're taking a dump on the wedding table or writing obscenities in her guest book.
If you get THIS upset over posters, you must have a STROKE every time the paper boy throws your paper in the bushes.

Is this horse really getting married? I mean with a face like that she'd scare the bejesus out of someone. What a complete false going nowhere wedding with a lot of hot air liars. Round em up and throw away the key already.

How dare you Billy and your little dog too. Hillary that is. Next time hecklers bring up Mena Arkansas and tell him how dare he for allowing the CIA to smuggle drugs to sell to our kids right in his backyard.

chelsea, you are such a special young lady in so many ways, including looking precious; I want to wish you and your husband to be, the very, very best life together. In case of any need, look up to God first, he will guide both of you.
People can be so horrible human. Try and ignore them. Ypou have it all... Most fondly Erika Faust

I love that the only daughter of Bill and Hillary, proud leaders of the Democratic Party of the people, is marrying a hedge fund trader (greedy, operate outside the law, brought down the economy) in a $2 million wedding ceremony. Social climbing, money-loving hypocrites, and they always have been.

hhmmmmm if my FIL/MIL are Bill and Hillary Clinton I don't think I'd have the balls to ever cheat on their daughter. This guy is defintiely going to be the one wearing the skirts but hey if he's comfortable doing that so be it. At any rate I hope they have a great marriage that lasts their entire lives! Regardless of what you think of Bill/Hil, Chelsea seems to be a pretty decent and well raised daughter.

The wedding guests are supposed to be friends and family of the bride and groom. The wedding is all about the bride and groom. If the President were the guest, he would distract from the two the day is supposed to be centered around. You media types seem to forget this when trying to make Chelsea look bad for not inviting the President.

I agree with President Obama...if he attended the wedding the focus would be on him and not on the bride and groom...and security would be a nightmare...however, if my boss were the President of the United States, well, I think I'd at least send him an invitation!

bbear, its Chelsea’s wedding not Hillarys, therefore the president isnt the boss of the bride, she can invite who she wants,,,,no president was invited to mine, who cares, its not the end of the world who she chooses or not!

Hi bp, you're not seeing it right, it is the wedding of the bride & groom but it is the parents paying and inviting for the event, not the bride inviting. On the invitations you may see that the parents invite "whoever" for theirs sun/daughter wedding. Anyway, who cares if they marry or not, or who their inviting? I don't.

People are losing jobs left and right, can't put food on the table, losing their homes... and the Clintons have the NERVE to waste 5 million dollars, flexing their money muscle on a one day event, or just for a few hours. Don't give me "stimulating the economy" crap or giving people jobs... Obama's plan didn't stimulate the economy and this won't either. They should be ashamed that for the money they are spending on a wedding, they could buy homes and food for thousands of people. We would expect something like this maybe from Jenna Bush which a event like this would be on the back burner, but the Clintons? It sickens me.
